This time, after placing the photoetched grids of the engine cover, I realize that the pipes of the brake cooling air inlets of the engine cover are missing. I detail them with bits of plasticard, building a small box and the tube that connects with those who come on the side of the engine…

Also I make the engine cover boot strut with 0.3mm and 0.5mm nickel tube. I flatten the sides and add the rods that attach to the chassis and engine cover …

Finally time to build, with a piece of aluminum, the engine cover lock…

I removed the “nickel” that brought the wheels because it does not match the real color, which is aluminum, and after giving them primer and a light coat of Alclad aluminum, I painted the nuts, which added the decal with the anagram of Porsche and painted with red and blue transparent the nuts …

At first I was going to use the dampers that brings the kit, since I was not convinced by the detailing parts from Hobby Design, but at the end I decided to add de details missing in the Hobby Design photoengraved parts.

It has been two evenings detailing and building parts to earn a bit of realism, and I really do not know if it’s worth so much effort …

Once assembled I gave them a coat of Alclad Steel, mixed with a little brown and black. Once dry, I took a few washes with Humbrol matt black to give more volume to the holes in the discs and their component parts.

Thanks to the reference photos that send me a pair to me of friends, I could see that the exhausts are burned, and taking a slightly darker metallic brown.

So it is called on to give that brown tone them and I have tried detail them a bit as they come too smooth, without soldering sections or detail of metal mesh that connects the exhaust section to the muffler inlet.

I have chosen this time not to remove the “chrome” that have the parts and use it directly as metallic background, applying transparent acrylic paints, Hull Red for “brown rust” and smoke tones to unify colors.

I exaggerate a little the colors to give more contrast, since once the piece in its place and with the little light of the closed interior would not see too much.
